Mid-Career Industry Fellowships scheme aims
The aims of the Mid-Career Industry Fellowships are:

- develop and supervise research, which may include the participation of Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students and early-career researchers (ECRs), that fosters the development of industry collaboration, commercialisation and translation skills; and
- deliver significant, actionable outcomes for industry partners and research end-users.
Who is this for?
This scheme is intended to support researchers from industry as well as university settings, for example researchers wanting to build industry connections and tackle a new industry problem or professionals looking to strengthen university connections and research skills.
